Chapter Forty-Nine: Dense Clouds and No Rain (Part II)
Standing on the higher platform, you can clearly see that the left flank of the Tianwu Army has begun to crumble under the first round of attack of the Mongolian cavalry. And Wang Jin was caught in the chaos of the army, and he couldn't command the soldiers of the left wing of the Tianwu Army to cover each other's attacks or retreat nearby.
Without Ye Yingwu's order, although Jiang Hao and his soldiers in front of the Song army were directly in front of the large array of the Song army not far away, his heart was like a fire, but he didn't dare to move the slightest, not to mention that there were more Mongolian cavalry in front of them.
"General Su, the left flank, please." Ye Yingwu frowned and pressed his sword to face the wind.
However, Su Liuyi was standing behind Ye Yingwu's side, and he didn't notice that this young battlefield general who looked very calm was actually covered with beads of sweat on the back of his entire neck. Hearing Ye Yingwu's order, Su and Liu Yi would not refuse, so he solemnly arched his hand and jumped directly from the not high platform.
Su Liuyi looked at the sky solemnly, and after a while, he pulled out his waist knife and shouted angrily: "Anji soldiers, follow me and tell the Mongolian Tartars what it means to be a good Han man!" β
Sergeant Anji, who was standing at the back of the front compartment of the Tianwu Army, followed Su Liuyi's order and followed his footsteps towards the left flank, which was about to be chiseled through.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry has easily broken through the defense line of the heavily armored soldiers who are full of holes because of the small number of people, although the spear array in the rear looks very powerful, but after all, these Mongolian cavalry are not new recruits who have entered the battlefield for the first time, although they have paid some casualties, but they soon outflanked flexibly in all directions, and rushed straight to the light armored soldiers behind the spear formation. In a panic, a famous marquis and the head of the capital shouted loudly, and the well-made and expensive divine arm crossbow was discarded in desperation, and the soldiers hurriedly wanted to draw their knives.
However, how could the Mongolian cavalry let go of this golden opportunity, quickly increased the speed of their horses, crashed into the phalanx of lightly armored soldiers, and the sabers in their hands rose and fell quickly, and few of the Tianwu soldiers who bore the brunt of the attack survived.
"Don't be afraid, kill!" One of the chiefs used his shield to block the oncoming saber, and a short knife that looked insignificant in his hand easily sank into the neck of the horseman's horse, which was so stimulated that it neighed and stood up!
The saber that had just come with a thunderous momentum finally slid down the shield to one side, and the head took the opportunity to bully himself, and with a saber drawn from his waist, he cut off the Mongolian cavalry exposed in front of him. The drenched blood instantly splattered his face, like a reborn jailer in the hell of Ah Nose.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
Suddenly, the majestic drum beat sounded from the Song army, and all the people, whether they were the Song soldiers who were at a disadvantage and fought bloodily, or the Mongolian warriors who held the reins of their horses and swords, all subconsciously looked up. The young man in silver armor and a red robe stood in the wind, holding not a sword but a drumstick.
The beat of the drum is like a roar of war, like an angry accusation, and more like a cry of no regret!
Ye Yingwu personally stood on the high platform, beating the cowhide drum and clattering. Perhaps the sound of his beating is not as earth-shaking and devastation as that of a real strong man, but the main general's beating of the drum has its own morale-boosting place.
With the sound of the drums, the soldiers of the Hundred Battles who were standing in the position of the Chinese army were ready to fight the fire everywhere at any time, facing the sun that was about to hide behind the clouds, and at the same time sang loudly: "The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frostγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
The Chinese army in the rear compartment began to sing military songs, and even the Anji army in the front compartment, the right compartment and even the Anji army who went to the rescue began to sing this passionate and majestic war song with the sound of pulling mountains and rivers. And the soldiers of the left wing, who had already fallen into a bitter battle, shouted angrily with red eyes that this song had no tone but was better than the tune, and waved the knife in his hand desperately, as if the words squeezed out of their teeth gave them courage and perseverance that could not be matched by anything else, and let them let the layers of blood stain the already red robe even redder!
"Kill the Tartars!" Su Liuyi took the lead and crashed straight into the crowd of scuffles, and the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Anji Army behind him also followed. In the face of the danger on the battlefield, Ye Yingwu did not hesitate to put the most capable and largest reserve in his hand directly into it, and did not think about what to do if the front or right compartment was in distress.
Seeing that the Song army only had 500 cavalry left to protect the Chinese army, Si Ribo, who had been wandering around the periphery, seemed to see the hope of tearing through the Song army's defense line, and the 5,000 cavalry under his command went around the right flank of the Song army's semicircular array, but did not launch a quick attack, but under the provocative gaze of Zhang Cheng and the two thousand right wing soldiers, he made a larger circle, wanting to pass through the Song army camp that was not defended by anyone at all, and directly attack the Chinese army from the rear.
Ye Yingwu, the commander of the Song army, has come up with endless means to boost morale and morale, which has made Si Ribo see who he should hunt.
It's a pity that when the 5,000 cavalry quickly approached the Song army camp, they found that there was actually a greater danger in this virtual rear.
Although the archery skills of the villagers in these places are indeed not very good, but firstly, the crossbow can effectively improve the accuracy, and secondly, Si Ribo made a mistake, that is, the five thousand cavalry under his command were arranged too closely, so some arrows that could not be shot would also be accidentally submerged into the body of an unlucky Mongolian cavalry.
And among these arrows, there were also thick giant arrows and fireball arrows shot from bed crossbows, if those huge arrows were just invincible in the Mongol cavalry, through three or four people in a row, then those fireball arrows were even more ferocious explodes in the dense crowd, even the Mongolian cavalry in the distance may be shocked by this wave of qi, and have to stop to calm the frightened horses.
"Put!" Without Ye Yingwu turning around and giving an order, Yang Bao had already given the order quickly, and the cavalry of the Tianwu Army, who had already been in battle, calmly turned the horse's head, and the divine arm crossbow in his hand pulled the trigger at the same time. The Tianwu Army, which was selected by Ye Yingwu for a hundred battles, and the veterans of Qingyuan Mansion at that time, had all experienced the battle formation, so they were higher than ordinary Tianwu soldiers in terms of reaction speed and reflex accuracy, and they were incomparable to the ordinary township soldiers on the city, and this round of arrow rain was even greater than the damage caused by the bed crossbow on the city.
Si Ribo skillfully swept away the two wolf teeth and arrows that flew from the left and the right, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was not far from the Song army camp, as long as the cavalry under his command could rush into the Song army camp, then the Song army's attack would inevitably be blocked by the camp, and then he could calmly and directly tear through the Song army's weak defense line with only five hundred cavalry.
I have to say that the commander of the Song army and his soldiers are indeed rare to fight and adjust tenaciously along the way with Si Ribo to Dali, Lianghuai and Xiangfan, and other Song army generals except Li Tingzhi, Su Liuyi and others, few of them dare to fight to the death with the Mongolian cavalry, and what is even more frightening is that under the hooves of Batel, few Song troops can support it for so long, although they are pitiful because of the small number of people and fall behind, but with the arrival of the reinforcements, they easily stabilized the defense line.
Although Si Ribo is far away, it can be clearly seen that even with the follow-up reinforcements, the Song army is only about 5,000 people on the left flank, almost in those 5,000 infantry to shake 5,000 cavalry, so that it can still stabilize the defensive line, the commander of the Song army and the commander of the left flank are indeed extraordinary.
"Sons, rush in!" In the face of stormy arrows, although the five thousand cavalry under the command of Si Ribo lost four or five hundred people, the open gate of the Song army camp was in front, the hastily built wall trembled in the earth-shaking sound of horses' hooves, the low watchtower was almost collapsing, the empty camp was like a lamb to be slaughtered, and the Song army flag fluttering in the wind was more like the stretched neck of a white goose.
As the war horses under his crotch swept into the Song army camp, the dense arrows that followed him finally lost their accuracy and flew around, Si Ribo breathed a sigh of relief, relying on the more than 4,500 cavalry under his command, which was enough to easily tear apart the Song army's defense line.
Suddenly, Si Ribo secretly screamed in his heart, why was that Song army commander still able to sit firmly in Diaoyutai under such circumstances? Judging from his accurate dispatch of reinforcements and the indisputable fact that the entire Song army's large array has been as stable as Mount Tai, the purpose of Si Ribo leading the army to storm the camp is very obvious, and he will not only let his Chinese army shoot arrows to interfere with the following.
Is that the general of the Song Army only talking on paper, or is there fraud in it?!
Sribo's mind went blank.
Not far from the command platform, a sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Yingwu's mouth.
From afar above the city, there was a ruthless command to cut through the ice and snow. Countless fireballs and crossbows were not aimed at the Mongol cavalry that occasionally flashed between the tents, but at the much larger tents!
"Fast Forward-!!" Si Ribo exerted all his strength and hissed and roared.
But it was too late, and in the next moment, countless white lights accompanied by earth-shattering explosions engulfed all the cavalry that entered the camp one after another!
Although it is only in the ordinary **, but when more than half of the two Huaishui divisions are concentrated, the explosion caused by it should not be underestimated.
More than 3,000 cavalrymen who entered the camp screamed and fell off their horses in the violent explosions that were close to the explosion, and the Mongolian cavalry who were relatively close to the camp where the gunpowder was hidden were swallowed up by the flames before they even made a sound, or were torn to pieces, and more cavalrymen were shaken off their horses by this rolling wave of air, most of them suffered internal injuries, rolling on the ground and screaming!
Although no gunpowder was placed in the camp tent near the north, and the camp tent and the wall inadvertently resisted most of the impact waves, the Song army's large array was still impacted, and the horses of the hundred battles were certainly panicked and needed the cavalry to be comforted, even the foot soldiers standing on the ground felt the ground tremble, and some even couldn't stand and fell directly to the ground.
The confrontation was fierce, and the left wing Meng and Song Shishu were even more shocked by this sudden explosion, and in a moment, they actually put down the weapons in their hands and looked at each other in a daze. also took advantage of this kung fu, Wang Jin and Batel, who had been scuffling with each other on the ground and couldn't win anyone, were separated in embarrassment, and were tightly protected by the soldiers under their command.
And the initiators Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu and others didn't expect that these gunpowders would suddenly burst out and be so powerful, so they were also at a loss in their hearts for a short time after that.
As for the Mongolian commander Ah Shu in the distance, he was even more shocked by this sudden sky-high fire, looking at the Song army array that was staggering on the opposite side, he was also stunned for a long time, and then his face showed a trace of anger that could not be concealed, the layers of smoke and bursts of fire were devouring, and it was the soldiers who were close to their brothers and sisters in the north and south with their own battles!
As a rare compassionate commander in the Mongolian army who loves soldiers like a son, Ah Shu's heart can be said to be as painful as a knife at this time.
Ye Yingwu, Su Liuyi, I must break your corpses into ten thousand pieces!
Si Ribo is definitely a great fortune, because he rushed to the front, and when the gunpowder exploded, he had already turned his horse's head and rushed to the north gate of the Song army camp, so he was just swept off the horse's back by the surging air, except for a few abrasions, there were no wounds, and when he staggered to his feet, he found that there were corpses behind him, and the fire was burning, devouring the camp tent and the corpse of his son.
A hundred zhang away, Si Ribo could still clearly hear the cold order of the commander of the Song army. Ye Yingwu stood on the stage, with the sound of the Song army's left flank fighting and shouting in his ears, and he pressed the hilt of his sword while ordering:
"Hundred battles, the right wing of the Tianwu Army, make every effort to destroy the enemy from the rear. The front compartment of the Tianwu Army, replacing the right compartment position! β
The blazing fire illuminated the commander's young and immature face, Yang Bao did not hesitate at all, glanced at Jiang Tie, Jiang Tie nodded, quickly turned the horse's head, and five hundred cavalry roared towards the camp, against the billowing smoke and the continuous explosions, without hesitation. The right wing of the Tianwu Army also quickly adjusted its formation, the lightly armored soldiers quickly returned to the camp with the divine arm crossbow, and the slow-moving heavy armored soldiers followed step by step, covering the back of the right wing, and the entire right wing march was still Zhang Cheng's usual cautious and strict.
As for Jiang Hao, the commander of the front chamber, although he complained that Ye Yingwu did not let himself lead the army to join the left flank battlefield not far away, he also knew that Ye Yingwu did this to ensure that the Chinese army would not be forcibly broken through by the Mongolian cavalry brigade opposite, but now Ye Yingwu actually let himself go to take the place of the right wing of the Tianwu army, which means that Wang Jin and Zhang Cheng have led the team to the battlefield, and he even has to stay in the back to watch his house, not to mention that once the front compartment gets out of the way, Ye Yingwu only has a Chinese army composed of 1,000 people under Zhang Shun and 500 soldiers in the rear compartment to command, and when the time comes, Ah Shu on the opposite side can directly lead the Mongolian cavalry to attack the Song army.
But after all, Ye Yingwu is the commander of the Tianwu Army, although Jiang Hao is not happy, but he still obeys, after all, no matter what kind of fighting, these 8,000 soldiers are standing here today, and they are really ready to return the horse leather shroud.
Changing the position is just a place to die, I'm afraid it will do something!
Seeing that the front compartment of Tianwu Jun was very obediently transferred to his right side, Ye Yingwu nodded lightly, Shang Jiang Hao is still very knowledgeable in this regard, and he does not have the character of being stunned. And the left flank arrived with Su Liuyi with the ace of the Anji army, and the Mongolian cavalry did not have the initial momentum, and the balance of victory and defeat quietly fell towards the Song army.
The sound of killing behind him had already sounded, but Ye Yingwu didn't care about the camp battlefield, and kept coldly looking at the unobstructed distance, looking at the Mongolian commander in silver armor under the big banner, and then raised a middle finger very openly, shake, shake, shake!
As a condor warrior on the grassland, although his eyes are very accurate, he is definitely not the kind of person who will get angry because of an unfamiliar provocative gesture from the other party, although Ye Yingwu is very rampant to expose his weakest Chinese army, but Ah Shu knows that this young and little-known young general will definitely not talk about Zhao Kuo on paper.
He is so flamboyant and so rampant, it is definitely because he has the bottom in his heart, and he is not afraid of his magic to surprise his own Chinese army! Why? Because on the way to the Chinese army, I don't know how many stumbling ropes and pits, which just hit the soft underbelly of Ah Shu's love soldiers!
Ah Shuxuan is about to set his sights on the left flank battlefield, although Baiter is still leading Erlang to fight hard, but with the most shocking impact of the Mongolian cavalry being carried down, the Song army and the Mongolian cavalry are not very advantageous in catching and killing the Mongolian cavalry, these Song troops do not look like the new recruits who have just entered the battlefield, although the tactics are still rusty, but they are definitely long-trained veterans, it seems that the so-called Tianwu Army is the elite of the Jiangnan West Road, it is indeed nonsense.
And the rear battlefield that Ah Shu didn't want to see the most, not only did the fire rise into the sky, but the killing sound was even more tragic, and Si Ribo's general flag had already been blown up, I don't know if this henchman would have survived the catastrophe, but even if he escaped the explosion, it would be difficult to save his life in the attack that the Song army quickly pressed up.
"Order, collect troops!" Ah Shu's eyes revealed a trace of coldness and unbearability, and these four words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
Layers of dark clouds had already spread from the north, gradually crossing the mountain fork, and were about to cover the Mongol army, although he knew that once it rained, it would really be a failure, but Ah Shu could not watch the countless Mongol cavalry fighting to the death with the enemy who was waiting for their work.
Tianwu Army, Anji Army, Ye Yingwu, Su Liuyi!
Gather forces and tear you to shreds in no time!
The elegant Mongolian commander had a hideous face like a terrifying monster at this time!
The first thunder exploded in the sky, shaking everyone's hearts!
